I didn't watch the entire trial from the beginning, but I watched most of it. But it bothers me so much that she blamed the murder on her kids. Oh, & there's also a 48 Hours episode where a husband was shot multiple times in the shower. The wife in that case also accused her son.
The only tragedy here is a good man was murdered by his own wife who cared only about money & men. She was even prepared to blame her own children. The Jury got it right.
@@Moira-v8e The second tragedy was blaming and implicating her innocent grieving sons, and the misguided people believing an obvious liar. Melody lied to law enforcement from the time they arrived. “Ma’am, do you have any other phones?” Melody; No. “Ma’am your top drawer is full of Straight Talk cards” Melody; “Oh, those were for my mother. She lives in a nursing home” Then she lied and said poor Sherry gave her the phone a long time ago - “But I don’t have it anymore”! She lied repeatedly. Chris, Scott and Emily told the truth from the start because they knew their Mother was capable of committing this murder.
Scott didn’t destroy his family. His mother Melody did she was greedy thirsty for money and stuff. She did love her husband, but loved his money., wanted to run away to Jamaica with love boy Rusty 🥴
Scot is not responsible for the destruction of that family, Melody is responsible, she disrespected her husband on countless occasions, she took her lovers to dinners and family events to humiliate and denigrate her husband and the father of her children, she was angry because her husband was helping her children financially, and she only wanted the money for herself. She did not want to pay for the cremation of her husband, whom she hated with all her soul.
23:45 What a horrible, offensive thing to say! Scott is not responsible for destroying the family. Melody destroyed her family by shooting her husband and the father of her children and by manipulating everyone like pawns on a chessboard - including the very children that grew in her womb. How dare he say such a thing?
The audacity of this guy to sit there and say that her son is "responsible, for the destruction of their family" is so over the top. SHE is THE only one responsible for the destruction of their family, period! Nobody else, not her son, who testified against her, only her and her disgusting cheating ass, period.
@@charissamiranda6804 well I didn’t watch every thing that went into the trial and you didn’t. Therefore, how can you wish that you saw evidence on TV? Seriously what kind of question is that?
Charris; so many people are not detail oriented and don’t listen to details, The women herself told Rusty, Gary was on the burn pile and Rust said “WHAT”! Dont tell me that, I don’t need to know that, don’t tell me anything else” WOW, people don’t pay attention!!! Then on a phone call, she told him when Rusty asked if she knows who did this” she said; well, I can tell you this, that body was not suppose to be burned that bad”, Rusty said what’s that mean… Go back and list to everything with Rusty. He told on her because he was terrified he would get arrested for something he didn’t do, he was scared to death, so he spilled the beans on her! Then she got mad and he went back and tried to take that statement back.
I my opinion, the jury got it right ! The call to Rusty telling him that Gary was on the burn pile was what nailed it for me. He hadn’t even been reported as missing yet !
Melody didn’t say ‘Gary is on the burn pile’. She said ‘He’s on the burn pile’. And Rusty instantly said ‘Don’t tell me anymore’. There was no need to name names - they both knew what was going on.
@@cutypieable oh, I absolutely believe Rusty was part of this somewheres along the line she told him what her plans were. He probably didn’t believe she was gonna go through with it but he knew he absolutely no look how long they’ve been carrying on behind that man’s back now she’s where she deserves to be at few other people need to be with her, because right, she didn’t carry that man up the basement steps by herself, and take him to the burn pile
He was on the other day going on and on about how much he gates Karen Read. This guys is a jackass and runs his mouth too much rather than giving legal analysis.
She convicted herself with her endless chatter to the detectives, and over the thousands of hours of phone calls. 📞🗣️ Not to mention, the endless lies and her unusual cellphone activity the night of the murder.
I truly believe if she had been found Not Guilty, she would have taken full vengeance on her kids, minus the one that stood behind her. She was too focused in life on money and men. Why her husband stayed married with that abusive woman for so many years is beyond understanding.
What is up with that idiot attorney? Scott lost his father. He has NO BLAME in this. Good lord, screen your guests. That was embarrassing and disgusting.
I'm 70 and alone on my farm which has a whole lot less bells and whistles than what she has and moving his body could easily be done. Yet people seem so surprised she did it alone. I don't get it.
Yes I'm a farmer too...I have moved loads of that size, using only simple hand tools...rope, plank, shovel, pike. When you have a tractor, it's very easy. Remember the principle of leverage... it can be used almost anywhere. 🎉
@jackkeener606 I know I was thinking the same. The one gunshot did NOT kill him. I don't know what kind of man he was (Fight, flight, freeze) but you never know what you will really do until you have a gun pointed at you. He could've been been pleading with her, offering money etc....

I agree, the guy with the moustache is a bit of a dink. I listened to him on another interview and he was despicable. Can’t even figure out how to move a body, anyone can figure it out
You guys are ridiculous for having thoughts of poor Scott hurting his dad! He loved his dad dearly, when his dad called on him, he went to him. His dad supported him because he worked in this small farm and did things to help. He wouldn’t have hurt his Dad! Shame on ya’ll!!!
Totally agree Scott loved his dad to no end Melody hated him just loved his money the only reason she moved back home because she would have lost everything.
@@charissamiranda6804 I ABSOLUTELY agree with you. But I believe MONEY was actually, the biggest part of their "loving" their dad. They may have loved their pa, but they LOVED his money MORE !! I believe she is covering up for one of them. There is NO way in Hell she carried his body out there, much as one of those bum kids tried to imply something like that. Talking about "some people can lift cars" or something ridiculously equal. I say B.S !!
Their 58 year old father was at the peak of his successful career. His decision as to how much of his earnings went where fully justified after his wife withdrew a fortune from their joint account to give to her lover(s). He bought the farm to keep her 'happy' To suggest one of his children did the evil deed is plain ridiculous, their father was accumulating higher wealth each and every month. It's her, his benificiary wife, that would have been a murder target, not the goose who laid the golden eggs! If he were widowed he would have sold that farm, at a profit, then moved into a town house, that he'd have preferred. As it is the farm sold at less than half its previous book value, a large financial loss that would never have happened if it were matricide. Melody now has plenty time to reminisce all her lies, deeds and hedonism. The fit looking male neighbor is going to miss all that texting and helping her out. The immature Rusty is probably off dating again, hope it's not someone else's wife, and Martha Jane's new last will and testament's black ink is dry.
The vast majority of the people, agreed with the guilty verdict. Scott cried for the loss of his dad. For fact that she took his father. He loved his dad. His dad was his provider. Justice for serve!
One attorney guest was shocked by the guilty verdict-he may have a law degree, but he’s lacking in common sense! The female host, Judge Ashley, also said she was stunned. These are intelligent people, but they’re missing basic logic. Just because Melody weighs 120 lbs doesn’t mean she couldn’t get her 320-lb husband onto the burn pile, especially with access to tractors, RTVs, and other farm equipment. It’s time to wake up, elitists!
I’m a little old lady too. I work with tractors for years. It’s very easy to pull, push, carry, and dump extremely heavy stuff. However I am with the folks that believe he was shot by the burn pile.
I agree, one said she had scoliosis. I have that and it's never stopped me from working on our family farm. Idk if I could lift that much weight, but don't blame her scoliosis sir. Where there's a will there's a way.
She had a heck of a good life while out on bail. Eating good food , . Watching her fav tv shows and snuggling up to Rusty, imagining all the things they would. do together once they got the money, One thing I can’t get over is the lovers flaunting themselves in front of Gary. How hurt he must’ve felt. RIP GARY FARRIS.
Ayala and that judge woman have been over the top with their opinions on this case, cherry picking silly items saying the case wasn't proven, but they keep saying the son did it. What's up with them?
@@flamingpitchfork9168 yes, notice how these commentators failed to mention the LIES told during her interrogation. . . . Hmmmm The bias on this channel oozes defense bias
This channel always gets it wrong (or maybe it’s law &crime) They were against Karen read, supported the mcalberts yet they are for this lady and accuse the son. Fully backward
No, Scott's cell phone data indicated he was at Lake Lanier with his friends. According to cell phone data, Melody and Gary were at the property but neither son was there.
That’s if they can pinpoint the exact time! I do believe she killed him and called Scott over and then threw him under the bus. Lady Macbeth has nothing on this woman.
My husband was huge & I'm a small woman but when he collapsed I was able to get him into my car & to the hospital. Strength comes when there's no other choice.
Who said he was killed in the basement? Just because a step had blood on it doesn’t mean he was killed in the basement. Also, if he was, there would be way more blood than on one step.
She didn’t look one bit shocked to me. She had the exact same expressions or lack of, that she has had during the whole trial. These defense attorneys commenting really annoy me. Stop second guessing the jury- they definitely came to the correct conclusion
this woman is an ice maiden she probably never loved him when they got married she married for money I wonder what their life was like at first with 4 babies
@25:24… wonder how Gary felt when he realized what was happening to him… or his children when they realized what happened at the fire pit or saw their mother throw them under an imaginary bus or saw her escorted off for killing their Dad? She didn’t cry at the verdict but her son cried for her. Scott was not there that night… he was called home by his mother. There was evidence. Poor family and friends of Gary. There was no need for this loss of life. Bless those children as they try to heal.
Judge Ashley, the host, was clearly unhappy with Melody’s guilty verdict, and she still seems to believe she’s smarter than the jury and others. However, while she may think she’s highly intelligent, many of those people likely have more common sense than she does.
She went on and on how she told him not to burn because he burned the house before but then as the fire burned “unattended “ for several days she didn’t try to get in touch with him to say why is it burning? Make that make sense
@@jomitchell2623 she didn’t stay out of anything when it came to her house. Listen to her interview on the porch the first day. She expresses very clearly how many times she told Gary what to do when it came to the fire. Even the detective noticed
Gary was suspicious that she would kill him. He thought she was poisoning him, but he was too embarrassed to ask the hospital to test for poison. He even made a comment that he would be on Dateline in the future. After she broke the plates on the porch, he commented on the video that he had eaten dinner and would probably be sick soon!
I agree. I think that is what caused the dizzy spells where he had to lay on the couch in his office. I am surprised he didn't ask for his blood to be tested. I have no doubt she probably tried to poison him first and when that didn't work she resorted to leading him at gunpoint to the burn pile. Everyone already knew Gary was going to start up the burn pile over the 4th of July. Also fire works going off all around them probably masked the gun shots.
@@jomitchell2623 He probably figured it out slowly as most of what I see on crime shows. People just assume they have a bug or the flu. If she used the traditional antifreeze method which appears to be common crime shows it slowly makes you feel ill and eventually shuts down your organs. He should have stood up to her earlier, divorced her and moved on with his life.
It is not about lifting “300” pounds. It is about moving “300” ponds. That is a significant difference. It is no longer about strength, it is about the amount of energy to move mass using leverage. Leverage includes things like using a slider like a slick plastic tarp or something else.
So right, its all about leverage and what method you use to move heavy objects. I'm less than 100 lbs, and can move large furniture all by myself using various materials to move. whereas, the men in my life, seems to right it off thinking they need help.
Walking him at gunpoint to the burn pile. He was shot twice. Once probably grazed Gary in the ribs and then she lead him there and rolled him in? Why do people insist that she lifted or carried him?
Justice for Gary! Melody could have left and got divorced but she wanted all his money, whilst keeping a lover and maintaining her lifestyle. Then to top it off she threw her own sons and one daughter under the bus. Wicked, deceptive and manipulative wife, mother, grandmother, friend. RIP Gary Farris.
She didn’t need to haul him up any stairs. The “basement “was the ground level of the home, with a steep slope from the “basement” door to the burn pile.
It would take several shots to take down a large man. He was shot in the basement but he likely walk or stumbled out of the house. He was finished off out side. Just my thoughts. I think they got it right. She may not be the only one guilty but that doesn't make her less guilty.
I think she shot him in the house, he ran outside was disoriented, and ran towards the burn pile and she pushed him in. What a gruesome death! I wonder how she lives with herself.
this people still are asking how she carried the victim to the burn pile. you should ask how the egyptians made the pyramids without any equipments. the fact is that all evidence proves her guilt.
(Retired trial attorney here.). Such weird advice from her attorney not to stand to show respect for the people who are volunteering their time to do their civic duty. Bad advice!
The son did NOT destroy this family- what an obtuse thing to say!! The MURDERER destroyed the family. Hopefully the siblings can move on from this poisonous mother. I’m sure she’s done a number on her kids their whole lives.
Yes, and he was testifying on behalf of her defense. I don't think they planned on the guy saying it was just he and Melody trying to steady the baby grand piano on wheels into Melody's garage for storage. He said it must have weighted 300 to 400 lbs.
@lisa, spot on! I thought the very same thing! There are many ways to move extremely heavy pounds. My mother was her size and use to move huge furniture by herself, she even took a piece down the stairs. I was shocked and had no idea how she did it, but she was good at moving heavy things, she was tiny too!
@@lisawinders2624 don’t confuse some of these idiots with the facts. They’re just a lot of bleeding hearts out there these days that never existed even 20 years ago. It’s incredible.
Crying is just a release of all the emotion. Scott has been in that court room while defense accused him of murder he did not commit. It has to be great relief when it's all behind you. Melody, rot in prison! Hope family finds peace.
When it was clear that Gary was murdered, she had to come up with some reasonable doubt. She originally wanted it to look like an accident for a quick payout. She could not come up with any other person on the property, that is when she had to point the finger at Scott.
Having affairs all over the place, complete disregard for your husband and marriage, killing your husband and burning him. She’s a disgusting evil monster. Writing was on the wall.
I think it is totally inappropriate for this former judge ( host of the show), and typical defense attorney to be judging this jury now on their verdict. They ABSOLUTELY came to the correct decision. There are many ways the jury could have figured in their minds that Melody killed her husband at the burn pile scene without having to move him by hand. And Scott, the son , was not a reasonable person to have killed his dad. The phone call with Rusty says it all ! I think it is wrong for the host of the show to be claiming she’s “shocked”. You were not at the trial and experiencing it all. So for you to be saying these things is just plain unethical, especially being a former judge.
This is exactly what I said to my daughter. This really upsets me. They're supposed to be professionals. I've never seen them act like this. I sure lost respect for this group.
It noblonger matters who or how she got Gary in the burn pile. The jury said that. She could have shot him right by the burn pile or he staggered outside where she finished him off. Besides, the tons of evidence lead to Melody
Get a grip attorney Michael. Who said she lifted Gary and carried him to the burn pile? She shot him in the house, wounding him, and lead him to the burn pile at gun point. Rolled him in. Simple as that. She didn't want to kill him in the basement because she couldn't physically get him to the burn pile which was her plan all along. There are more angles that that. Surprised you don't see that.
Right and why did he have the bullets in his drawer and why was his first comment to his sister We have to find the missing gun, he said this before they knew Gary was shot...so much evidence against him...sad
@@mflannery4450 yes erasing trail cam video, asking about the gun and having the bullets in his drawer and so questionable watching them up on hill while they were at the burn pile. Very sad
How would she ever know that “ The BODY was not supposed to be that bad.” “That Body was not suppose to be on that burn pile.” Those are her words… how else would she know that, hmmmm? Those recordings were played to the jury.
Probably because she had no idea how long he had been there. It took an expert to explain that with his fat it would burn hotter and cause more destruction.
I have watched this trial here in Denmark and I think she was guilty, i have been a juror in Denmark for many years and I have no doubt at all. So cold a lady to watch. Its so sad to see her children devastated but I think she does,nt care. She only feel sorry for herself. The verdict in my opinion is right with all the evidence pointing at her. This is justice so thanks to the jurors
She killed him at the burnpile; blood in basement could have been from the dog bite on his heel; the bullet in the basement could have been planted; or maybe she shot him superficially, and made him walk to the burnpile at gunpoint.
Exactly 👏👏👏👏All this BS about how could she move him on her own !! She didn’t have to … she had the gun & threatened him ! He walked out to burn pile !!

@@Teaally1913 those children were spoiled little brats that show no respect at all .
@@charissamiranda6804 I ABSOLUTELY agree with you. But I believe MONEY was actually, the biggest part of their "loving" their dad. They may have loved their pa, but they LOVED his money MORE !! I believe she is covering up for one of them. There is NO way in Hell she carried his body out there, much as one of those bum kids tried to imply something like that. Talking about "some people can lift cars" or something ridiculously equal. I say B.S !!
She messed around with other men for years , only stayed for the lifestyle imo ! Poor man gave her everything & she hated him 😪😡
@@jaynenancekivell3162Gary was no Saint, he cheated was verbally abusive and smoked in the F-ing house. I would have anything to do with him either🎉🎉
Their 58 year old father was at the peak of his successful career. His decision as to how much of his earnings went where fully justified after his wife withdrew a fortune from their joint account to give to her lover(s). He bought the farm to keep her 'happy'
To suggest one of his children did the evil deed is plain ridiculous, their father was accumulating higher wealth each and every month.
It's her, his benificiary wife, that would have been a murder target, not the goose who laid the golden eggs!
If he were widowed he would have sold that farm, at a profit, then moved into a town house, that he'd have preferred.
As it is the farm sold at less than half its previous book value, a large financial loss that would never have happened if it were matricide.
Melody now has plenty time to reminisce all her lies, deeds and hedonism. The fit looking male neighbor is going to miss all that texting and helping her out. The immature Rusty is probably off dating again, hope it's not someone else's wife, and Martha Jane's new last will and testament's black ink is dry.
To say the son destroyed the family is gross. That guest should do some soul searching about some internal trauma he’s not aware of or something
The vast majority of the people, agreed with the guilty verdict.
Scott cried for the loss of his dad. For fact that she took his father. He loved his dad. His dad was his provider. Justice for serve!
Good job jury!!! She is guilty!
Why is ppl stunned hello she treating
Like hell told ppl she wish he was dead and hated Scott
One attorney guest was shocked by the guilty verdict-he may have a law degree, but he’s lacking in common sense! The female host, Judge Ashley, also said she was stunned. These are intelligent people, but they’re missing basic logic. Just because Melody weighs 120 lbs doesn’t mean she couldn’t get her 320-lb husband onto the burn pile, especially with access to tractors, RTVs, and other farm equipment. It’s time to wake up, elitists!
Exactly!
Spot on
I’m a little old lady too. I work with tractors for years. It’s very easy to pull, push, carry, and dump extremely heavy stuff. However I am with the folks that believe he was shot by the burn pile.
I agree, one said she had scoliosis. I have that and it's never stopped me from working on our family farm. Idk if I could lift that much weight, but don't blame her scoliosis sir. Where there's a will there's a way.
Just because they went to college doesn’t make them intelligent.
Jury got it right!
She had a heck of a good life while out on bail. Eating good food , . Watching her fav tv shows and snuggling up to Rusty, imagining all the things they would.
do together once they got the money,
One thing I can’t get over is the lovers flaunting themselves in front of Gary.
How hurt he must’ve felt.
RIP GARY FARRIS.
I still believe, Gary was checking the burn pile , and thats when Melody shot him ! I wish the prosecutors saw this !
Thanks God. Finally, justice for Gary
Yep, this should have been tried earlier. Evil Melody has been free for too long, justice needs to be swift. RIP Gary
Melody was found guilty not Scott! Please stop accusing him Court TV.
Ayala and that judge woman have been over the top with their opinions on this case, cherry picking silly items saying the case wasn't proven, but they keep saying the son did it. What's up with them?
AGREE!!!!
@@flamingpitchfork9168the guests are stupid.
@@flamingpitchfork9168 yes, notice how these commentators failed to mention the LIES told during her interrogation. . . . Hmmmm The bias on this channel oozes defense bias
This channel always gets it wrong (or maybe it’s law &crime)
They were against Karen read, supported the mcalberts yet they are for this lady and accuse the son.
Fully backward
She was the only person on the property along with Gary at the time of the murder.
I thought Scott was there too.
No, Scott's cell phone data indicated he was at Lake Lanier with his friends. According to cell phone data, Melody and Gary were at the property but neither son was there.
That’s if they can pinpoint the exact time! I do believe she killed him and called Scott over and then threw him under the bus. Lady Macbeth has nothing on this woman.
@@sionnach3104Used the horses being out as an excuse, but they were in when Scott arrived.
@@user-qd6fg4iv2i You do know that a person can purposely leave their phone somewhere else so they won’t be tracked, right?
My husband was huge & I'm a small woman but when he collapsed I was able to get him into my car & to the hospital. Strength comes when there's no other choice.
Who said he was killed in the basement? Just because a step had blood on it doesn’t mean he was killed in the basement. Also, if he was, there would be way more blood than on one step.
They didn’t test blood did they ? Shes hot him & he ran or she shot him near burn pile !
And her mind goes to her pearl earrings. Unreal.
I thought that was strange also..Sad!
She won’t be needing them where she’s going. Wicked woman.
@@8_bruh_8 that’s a lot of honey buns from the commissary
Rusty probably got them for her. She’s letting him know he messed up & got her convicted
first time seen a woman go straight to taken off jewelry
Stand up for the Jury, this is a sign of Respect!
She was told to sit
@@JonSpringer-g1m I also noticed the lawyers and even the Judge didn’t stand however I just think the jury deserves that much.
She’s too good. She’s above them all.
@@JonSpringer-g1mnobody tells melody to do anything
@@annebosworth7048she's got a rude awakening once she hits the prison walls.
She didn’t look one bit shocked to me. She had the exact same expressions or lack of, that she has had during the whole trial. These defense attorneys commenting really annoy me. Stop second guessing the jury- they definitely came to the correct conclusion
That's what defense attorneys do.....
this woman is an ice maiden she probably never loved him when they got married she married for money I wonder what their life was like at first with 4 babies
@25:24… wonder how Gary felt when he realized what was happening to him… or his children when they realized what happened at the fire pit or saw their mother throw them under an imaginary bus or saw her escorted off for killing their Dad? She didn’t cry at the verdict but her son cried for her. Scott was not there that night… he was called home by his mother. There was evidence. Poor family and friends of Gary. There was no need for this loss of life. Bless those children as they try to heal.
Judge Ashley, the host, was clearly unhappy with Melody’s guilty verdict, and she still seems to believe she’s smarter than the jury and others. However, while she may think she’s highly intelligent, many of those people likely have more common sense than she does.
Any sentence this woman gets is going to be life without parole. After hearing all the evidence, I had no doubt as to what the verdict would be.
She went on and on how she told him not to burn because he burned the house before but then as the fire burned “unattended “ for several days she didn’t try to get in touch with him to say why is it burning? Make that make sense
Good point!
Maybe she thought he was keeping a close eye on it and decided to stay out of it.
@@jomitchell2623 she didn’t stay out of anything when it came to her house. Listen to her interview on the porch the first day. She expresses very clearly how many times she told Gary what to do when it came to the fire. Even the detective noticed
She reacts like someone who did it and got caught. Not someone innocent of the charge . No one is responsible for her situation besides her
Exactly! An innocent person would be outraged.
I guess you're an expert in how people behave when they are innocent.
I noticed that too
Evil the way she treated him .
Defense attorneys thinks she is guilty too
I believe that too !!! They KNEW !!
Gary was suspicious that she would kill him. He thought she was poisoning him, but he was too embarrassed to ask the hospital to test for poison. He even made a comment that he would be on Dateline in the future. After she broke the plates on the porch, he commented on the video that he had eaten dinner and would probably be sick soon!
I agree. I think that is what caused the dizzy spells where he had to lay on the couch in his office. I am surprised he didn't ask for his blood to be tested. I have no doubt she probably tried to poison him first and when that didn't work she resorted to leading him at gunpoint to the burn pile. Everyone already knew Gary was going to start up the burn pile over the 4th of July. Also fire works going off all around them probably masked the gun shots.
If he really thought she was poisoning him he didn’t have to eat her food. I wonder how much she turned the children against their mother before.
@@jomitchell2623 He probably figured it out slowly as most of what I see on crime shows. People just assume they have a bug or the flu. If she used the traditional antifreeze method which appears to be common crime shows it slowly makes you feel ill and eventually shuts down your organs. He should have stood up to her earlier, divorced her and moved on with his life.
She has gotten away with every greedy and evil deed in her life until now .
It is not about lifting “300” pounds. It is about moving “300” ponds. That is a significant difference. It is no longer about strength, it is about the amount of energy to move mass using leverage. Leverage includes things like using a slider like a slick plastic tarp or something else.
From the basement up the stairs?
Or
He was killed at the burn pile then she smeared blood in the house in order to frame her son..
So right, its all about leverage and what method you use to move heavy objects. I'm less than 100 lbs, and can move large furniture all by myself using various materials to move. whereas, the men in my life, seems to right it off thinking they need help.
Definitely my thought too. Where there’s a will there’s a way!!
Walking him at gunpoint to the burn pile. He was shot twice. Once probably grazed Gary in the ribs and then she lead him there and rolled him in? Why do people insist that she lifted or carried him?
Thank God this commentators weren’t on n the jury room. They would have let a brutal criminal walk free.
Yes !!! 💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡
Justice for Gary!
Melody could have left and got divorced but she wanted all his money, whilst keeping a lover and maintaining her lifestyle. Then to top it off she threw her own sons and one daughter under the bus.
Wicked, deceptive and manipulative wife, mother, grandmother, friend.
RIP Gary Farris.
She didn’t need to haul him up any stairs. The “basement “was the ground level of the home, with a steep slope from the “basement” door to the burn pile.
Ahhhhhhh
Exactly, she didn’t have to drag him up, just out the door or she shot him by the burn pit.
@@NosyBody-vy1mfbut bullet was found in the house too
Oh Wow! Okay, mystery solved.
It would take several shots to take down a large man. He was shot in the basement but he likely walk or stumbled out of the house. He was finished off out side. Just my thoughts. I think they got it right. She may not be the only one guilty but that doesn't make her less guilty.
I think it is possible that Melody shot him while he was near the burn pile.
I've been saying the same ge was at the burn 🔥 pit when poor man was taking out shes evil 😈
That is the only way possible
I think she shot him in the house, he ran outside was disoriented, and ran towards the burn pile and she pushed him in. What a gruesome death! I wonder how she lives with herself.
@@ginevrawilliams866Well, he died the gruesome death she wanted him to have. Poor man.
I think that definitely may have occurred but then how do you explain the blood inside the house?
Thank you jury🙏🏻She is a monster👿
@@beppievanoss477 indeed!!!
this people still are asking how she carried the victim to the burn pile. you should ask how the egyptians made the pyramids without any equipments. the fact is that all evidence proves her guilt.
Rusty dodged a bullet
Melody is Guilty!!!
Yes she did it - her motive - putting a stop to Gary handing out money .
All of her lies finally caught up with her!!! Master manipulator!!!
Not so master now. Melody now sleeps in the prison of her own making.
Thanks to law enforcement, the prosecution, and the jury, who all worked together to bring the family and loved ones the justice they deserve.
She didn't need to move him. She shot him while he was at the Burn pile.
(Retired trial attorney here.). Such weird advice from her attorney not to stand to show respect for the people who are volunteering their time to do their civic duty. Bad advice!
The son did NOT destroy this family- what an obtuse thing to say!! The MURDERER destroyed the family. Hopefully the siblings can move on from this poisonous mother. I’m sure she’s done a number on her kids their whole lives.
Right, actual attorneys disrespecting the verdict.
@TheresaofTheWorld was the jury actually hung a few hours earlier?
Remember the testimony of the friend who moved the grand piano into her garage? She helped him move the piano off the trailer! That’s how she rolls…
Yes, and he was testifying on behalf of her defense. I don't think they planned on the guy saying it was just he and Melody trying to steady the baby grand piano on wheels into Melody's garage for storage. He said it must have weighted 300 to 400 lbs.
@lisa, spot on! I thought the very same thing! There are many ways to move extremely heavy pounds. My mother was her size and use to move huge furniture by herself, she even took a piece down the stairs. I was shocked and had no idea how she did it, but she was good at moving heavy things, she was tiny too!
@@lisawinders2624 don’t confuse some of these idiots with the facts. They’re just a lot of bleeding hearts out there these days that never existed even 20 years ago. It’s incredible.
That’s assuming that the murder happened inside the home..
@@donnamays24 EXACTLY. She probably enticed him to the burn pile and then did the dirty deed.
Crying is just a release of all the emotion. Scott has been in that court room while defense accused him of murder he did not commit. It has to be great relief when it's all behind you. Melody, rot in prison! Hope family finds peace.
Amen! Prayers for Scott and all the children. Heartbreaking
Yes
Scott is off the hook but people still saying Scott did it.. unbelievable
When it was clear that Gary was murdered, she had to come up with some reasonable doubt. She originally wanted it to look like an accident for a quick payout. She could not come up with any other person on the property, that is when she had to point the finger at Scott.
@@lanalou77poor scoot suffering because his mother accused him of murder his father.
@@qualitytouchpaintermelody set up scott to come by checking the horses gate was open when he came in he found out his mother lied
Having affairs all over the place, complete disregard for your husband and marriage, killing your husband and burning him. She’s a disgusting evil monster. Writing was on the wall.
This lawyer speaking against the kids is on something he is terrible, Amanda knows what happened
I think it is totally inappropriate for this former judge ( host of the show), and typical defense attorney to be judging this jury now on their verdict. They ABSOLUTELY came to the correct decision.
There are many ways the jury could have figured in their minds that Melody killed her husband at the burn pile scene without having to move him by hand. And Scott, the son , was not a reasonable person to have killed his dad.
The phone call with Rusty says it all !
I think it is wrong for the host of the show to be claiming she’s “shocked”. You were not at the trial and experiencing it all. So for you to be saying these things is just plain unethical, especially being a former judge.
Here, here!
I think candid reactions from a judge are appropriate. And the rest of the panel.
This is exactly what I said to my daughter. This really upsets me. They're supposed to be professionals. I've never seen them act like this. I sure lost respect for this group.
All she said was that she was surprised and that Scott was reasonable doubt for her, in her mind. There is nothing offensive about that.
Agree!
I’m not stunned, she hated the man for years and bitter about not having control of their money.
Yeh , his hard earned money that she’d like to spend on her lovers…,like WTF?..,what a vile woman
She was so guilty 😮
It noblonger matters who or how she got Gary in the burn pile. The jury said that. She could have shot him right by the burn pile or he staggered outside where she finished him off. Besides, the tons of evidence lead to Melody
Melody is responsible for the destruction of the family….not Scott!
Justice is done. How could she put her family through all this? Selfish!
Lesson to be learned: Don’t kill people!
Get a grip attorney Michael. Who said she lifted Gary and carried him to the burn pile? She shot him in the house, wounding him, and lead him to the burn pile at gun point. Rolled him in. Simple as that. She didn't want to kill him in the basement because she couldn't physically get him to the burn pile which was her plan all along. There are more angles that that. Surprised you don't see that.
I totally agree with you .
Ikr….and he “really puzzled”….
So why did Scott erase the Trail Cam video?
Right and why did he have the bullets in his drawer and why was his first comment to his sister We have to find the missing gun, he said this before they knew Gary was shot...so much evidence against him...sad
@@mflannery4450 yes erasing trail cam video, asking about the gun and having the bullets in his drawer and so questionable watching them up on hill while they were at the burn pile. Very sad
Jury got it right all those calls with her lover for me she killed him in the pile, she didn't kill him in the house
TELL YOUR GUEST TO SHUT UP WITH HIS SCENARIO....SHE IS COMPLETELY GUILTY!!!!
How would she ever know that “ The BODY was not supposed to be that bad.” “That Body was not suppose to be on that burn pile.” Those are her words… how else would she know that, hmmmm? Those recordings were played to the jury.
It doesn't get any more clear than that!
Possibly hired someone, still guilty of murder for hire or didn’t realize the the substances in our body fuel the fire
Probably because she had no idea how long he had been there. It took an expert to explain that with his fat it would burn hotter and cause more destruction.
The jury got it right
Yes justice for Gary and his family
I have watched this trial here in Denmark and I think she was guilty, i have been a juror in Denmark for many years and I have no doubt at all. So cold a lady to watch. Its so sad to see her children devastated but I think she does,nt care. She only feel sorry for herself. The verdict in my opinion is right with all the evidence pointing at her. This is justice so thanks to the jurors
I'm happy she was found guilty because she is really is.
Glory be to God !! Justice was served today !!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest in Peace Mr. Farris.
Scott is not responsible for anything. She’s a grown evil adult!!!
She shot him downstairs, injuring him, then made him walk to burn pile. Then killed him there.
Bingo
@@NikiBoBicki yes!!!!!!!
S he does not look shocked at all .
I think she was acting like she was shocked when she put her hands over her mouth, and acted like she was disgusted at Scott.
I feel so bad for the kids. Their mother put them in a horrible position.
They got it right! -Hell yes, they did. Good ol Martha Jane sealed the Deal for me!
That really helped find the smoking gun, so to speak, for sure!!
Guilty Guilty Guilty
It’s pretty brutal to have a gun pointed at you and have your life snuffed out.

@@reneevaz7848😢
She killed him at the burnpile; blood in basement could have been from the dog bite on his heel; the bullet in the basement could have been planted; or maybe she shot him superficially, and made him walk to the burnpile at gunpoint.
